Leviche beat Komarno 87 to 83 in the Extraliga on 3 October 2026. The hosts held their nerve after a game that swung back and forth for forty minutes. Komarno pushed them all the way, but the home side found just enough to close it out.
And here's the thing — Leviche made their living from distance. They hit nine three-pointers against eleven, but their field goal percentage told the real story. Thirty-one makes from 64 shots for the visitors came with more effort, while the hosts needed fewer attempts to stay ahead when it mattered.
Komarno controlled the glass with forty rebounds to thirty-seven, but those extra boards did not translate into clean possessions. Both sides turned the ball over seventeen times, and the visitors' twenty-six personal fouls gave Leviche twenty free throws. By then the lead had stretched just enough to make a comeback unlikely.
Leviche's defensive intensity showed in eleven steals to twelve, but their single block compared with nine for Komarno suggests the visitors worked harder inside. The assist figures — fifteen for the hosts, sixteen for the guests — point to a game where isolation plays decided the tight moments.
We had called for a home win with confidence around sixty-eight per cent, and the result backed that up. Leviche's thirty wins from thirty-six games kept them top of the table, while Komarno's seventeen defeats left them fifth. The margin of four points meant nothing was handed over.
The visitors had lost to Spišskí Ryteři 75 to 87 last Saturday and to Inter Basket 74 to 81 before that, so consistency was always the question. Leviche's recent form — wins over Inter Basket and Handlova's MБК — showed they could close out games when the pressure built.
What stayed with you was the way the hosts managed the clock in the final quarter. They did not need a big run; they just needed to stop Komarno from finding rhythm. Four points is not a lot, but in this league it feels like a statement.
